The Foodbank and MDH Partnership

MDH is a proud supporter and valued partner in the Foodbank collaborative supply meat program and is helping to provide a regular supply of sausages and a vital source of protein to vulnerable Australians.

MDH has committed to helping Foodbank by donating one tonne of meat trim per month to the meat program, which will generate 220,000 sausages annually for Australians in need.

This collaborative supply program allows MDH and the other key program partners to all make a significant contribution to people in need by providing them with a basic key staple product and valuable source of protein, that they otherwise might have gone without.
